Is anyone besides MSNBC reporting the gear is down?

CNN still says the landing gear isnt fully down.

The landing gear's down. They'll be landing in about 10 minutes.

penywisexx: (pops)Nike Job Opening am I the only one that finds this funny?

OMG that's funny, ironic and scary all at the same time....

I just heard over the KPTV stream that they may have fixed the gear. The plane's going to do another pass soon to confirm.

Might as well go watch nothing happen.

Too bad for the media. They followed this story for hours and there will be no crash.

I hope the damn thing blows up. I feel no sympathy for corporate fat cats.

I'm watching this on local TV in Portland. Local stations are creaming themselves, as this is happening during a sweeps month.

CNN is just now saying that "possibly" it has just now gone down.

No shat. Teen girls are raped half as often at Nike plants than they are at other plants. But you wouldn't know that with the disrespect shown here.

Which Nike plants? Did you tell Nike about this?

Elaine just called saying, "The gear is down and we're ready to land. Ted Stryker unavailable for comment.

Ok, MSNBC says it's down, because a test pilot for Gulfstream said that they just managed to get it down using "standard emergency procedures." CNN says it's still kinda up and they're still preparing for an emergency landing. Fox News says that Islamic extremists put the Avian Flu in the landing gear.

F5 F5 F5 F5 F5....

CNN is also tripping over themselves to refer to the pilot as "He or she."

I hope the media doesn't start picking up on every irregularity in any aircraft now. It's really annoying turning on the TV during my afternoon break(s), and wanting to hear about what's happening in the world, but instead being forced to watch a stupid jet circling the runway for hours on end.

It's especially bad when I pick up the remote and say to myself, "Surely, they can't be covering this on every news channel . . ." And I proceed to flip through CNN, MSNBC, FNC, CNN:HN, and they all have the same shot of the stupid plane.

Christ.

I hope the damn thing blows up. I feel no sympathy for corporate fat cats.

I'm very curious about your particular brand of morality. Some people have made a ton of money, perhaps using methods you find objectionable, and you think they should die?

I don't like Nike either, but I'm far more wary of idiots like you.

here comes the landing...

redoctober65
meh, your right. I hate flamewars.

so anyway, did the plane land yet?
/seriously

Landing in 7 minutes: CNN

LMAO CNN showing footage of a farking DC-9 thinking its the Gulfstream LOL

They are saying that this is the planes 'Maiden flight'.


Where are these built at and how did it get where it was?

/er....
//Obvious?

I just want to tell you both good luck. We're all counting on you.

It is the planes first flight under Nike ownership, but the plane has presumably been flown many times before.

Final approach now

Ah man... they're screwed... here's the pilot:

You know, I've personally flown over 194 missions and I was shot down on every one. Come to think of it, I've never landed a plane in my life.

looks like i picked the wrong day to stop drinking... and sniffing glue....

Yup, the gear is down... I'll never get those 90 minutes back...

It's down.

Safe Landing...good job.

yay.. safely down.

For all of you tuning in late..

APRIL FOOL

/yeah, I know it's November

All OK. Plane landed safely.

Sweet.

nice landing
